Heres how i see it. Its becoming apparent through scientific study that all groups of matter in space go through a long time scale processes or life-cycles if you will. Galaxys have super black holes in them which are pulling all the matter of that galaxy once a black hole (super or not) reaches its threshold it starts to shoot out incredible amounts of matter. The resulting area becomes a breeding ground for star formation and the planets that may surround them, as seen in many of the hubble images. I believe they're called quasars. Then due to the continual gravity of the black hole the galaxy will eventually reform. ALL OF THIS IS IN GENERAL, there are collisions of galaxys (galaxi?..no)and many other occurrences that could change these events. However, its my thought that this is what the big bang theory is, just on a smaller scale. At some point before the big bang an unimaginable force was pulling the whole of the previous universe in upon itself and reached its threshold to explode all the matter back out into space to begin another life cycle. stars do it, galaxys do it, why not the universe?

I know, i know smoke another one...lol
